I heard the layoffs tomorrow will mostly be at 1515 broadway tomorrow with a goal of closure by March 2026. Can anyone here verify?

Anyone know anything about Paramount Television Studios group under Matt Thunell? This round or next?

I mean the guy just saved Paramount and took on this immense task of building the studio back to its former glory. He has this massive weight on his shoulders being the new CEO, and now on top of it he’s forced to do lay offs? I just can’t imagine... — read more 

Anyone with knowledge know anything about how hard Pluto TV will be hit?

According to a Tweet from Dylan Byers from Puck News: CBS NEWS leadership will announce layoffs tomorrow... Nearly 100 jobs will be affected across the division, as I've long reported..

Hard to follow with 20 threads. Someone with knowledge, how hard will streaming be hit?

I was scheduled to work in the office tomorrow. My entire team and I were told to work from home. Was everyone told this? Or should I take this as a bad sign.

Email from DE at 6:30 AM ET Follow-up email at 11:30 AM ET Layoffs commence after 11:30 AM ET email. Expect a call if impacted Out by Friday

Any idea how it’s going to go down tomorrow? Obviously we aren’t getting a zoom mtg request from our dept head and HR…especially since our dept head has left the company.

Would be nice to have on top of severance, its so close to the end of the year.

I work in production on a show that is in the midst of production and won’t be getting cancelled. Does that mean I should be safe for now, or has anybody seen layoffs affect people in my situation previously?

There has been so little investment in the cable side there are bound to be massive layoffs here. Still overstaffed for so few hours of original programming, with many people doing very little work (through no fault of their own).

Typically logging into the Windows work profile does the trick, but today there was an extra step to log into Outlook. A few others mentioned this as well, but it didn’t happen to every person on our team.

Whatever happens, it’s on them, not you. Don’t ever let any corporate a--hole make you doubt yourself or shake your confidence.

Seeing lots of corporate level posts but what about the situation at your station? All quiet at mine so far (being vague in case Sonny Boy is lurking here).

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The goal is to get many of us to the point where we can’t take the stress anymore and walk out on our own. That saves them money on severance. That’s why they’ll drag this out into several rounds. That’s... — read more 

Do we think there are going to be any layoffs at CBS???

If we go by the media reports, that doesn’t seem to be the case. But then, who still trusts leadership at their word? We’ve been stressing for weeks over the coming big round, and now it sounds like it might turn into a drawn-out affair. No company... — read more 

Is there any chance they'll give us less than 2 weeks per year of service?

It’s a better option than staying in this mess of never-ending anxiety.

According to Bloomberg. Wonder when round 2 will come.

my manager told me he expects remote workers outside LA NY to be hit very hard this week as they plan to phase them out anyway .. if their job was needed - would rehire this is me - he told me he doesn't have the list - who knows about that... — read more 

I'd like to start a tip thread for any impacted folks this week. I was laid off a year ago and fortunately have managed to get enough income to not net a negative this past year, but don't kid yourself -- the market is that bad out there. No matter... — read more 

just curious .. the HR post says Wednesday but my boss seems to think it's Tuesday We are WFH all week .. encouraged to WFH anyone else ... also email or manager zoom ?

How do layoffs work with WARN? If WARN requirement is 60 or 90 days depending on the state, is that your severance? For someone that's been here for 1 or 2 years, would severance get bumped up to the WARN requirement instead of the 2 or 4 weeks?... — read more 

appropriate news for this week: https://puck.news/taylor-sheridan-is-leaving-paramount-for/

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with all of you. I pray for the best for each and everyone. I’ll see ya on the other side!

I want to be able to sleep through the night again. I haven’t had a proper night of sleep in what feels like months.

Will managers or directors will also get the prorated bonus or it's only VP and above?

There has been some chatter that layoffs might be Mon/Tues/Wed next week given the sheer size of the layoffs so just remember this does not define you nor is this your fault. Sending positive vibes and thoughts to everyone.

Just want to see what the guideliness are rules are. I am not asking for this to be leaked but if you can point me where to look at internally I'll find it myself. I dont want to ask HR or my mgr.

Hello Are severance packages paid in one lump sum or bi weekly like a pay check?

I’ve heard so many different versions, and it’s honestly confusing. From what I can tell, there’s still nothing final. Unfortunately, it sounds like the uncertainty for remotes will drag on a bit longer, especially for those who don’t neatly fit into... — read more 

I haven’t had my mid year check in, though I just noticed in my Managers diary his other direct report has his booked in. I‘m guessing this isn’t a good sign for me and I‘m going to be affected by the layoffs.

This has to be the largest layoff that the company has had in several years if it ends up being 2,000. In 2023, I believe it was a few hundred so it is going to be so interesting to see how next week plays out and how the ones who survive carry on.

Has anybody heard anything? My manager played d-mb when I asked him (which makes sense) but wondering if anyone else received more transparency about what will happen here.
